Last year Down Under Aviation News visited the home of the RAAF Maritime Patrol Group at RAAF Edinburgh, Adelaide where 2 events took place - the arrival of new Boeing P-8 aircraft and the winding down of the AP-3C Orion operations was taking place.
These events also brought across 2 very important warbrids - HARS's Catalina and Neptune, so that for the first time ever there were 4 generations of RAAF maritime aircraft on public display. See the coverage at

Great story! Has anyone there considered converting the retired P-3s into air tankers?

Believe they have been largely sold on to another country by Defence Disposals through the normal tender process.
